Tamworth and Aldershot set for Conference

Issues below the Conference can be sorted out tomorrow as both Aldershot and Tamworth could secure promotion.

Accrington Stanley have already been confirmed as UniBond Premier League champions, and a win for Tamworth over Cambridge City would see them promoted to the Conference. If Aldershot are victorious over St. Albans, and Canvey Island fail to beat Chesham United, the former Football League side would also be promoted.

In Division Three, the race hots up to avoid the drop into non-league football. Bottom club Exeter City play play-off prospects Oxford United, while the other side in the drop zone, Shrewsbury Town, host fellow strugglers Boston United. Bristol Rovers and Carlisle United both face tricky ties, while Swansea, still in trouble, go to Leyton Orient, who look to have secured their league status for another year.

With three games left in the Conference, any one of eleven sides could join Kettering Town in dropping out of the league. Leigh RMI go to Hereford United, while Woking, who occupy the last relegation place, host fifth-placed Dagenham & Redbridge. Telford United need all three points at Forest Green Rovers, and Barnet need a point to secure their survival at Gravesend & Northfleet. Nuneaton Borough, just one point above Woking, have a tricky task in hosting Chester City at Manor Park.
